Mobile Workshop: East End Maker Hub (EEMH) | Thursday, April 28, 2022 | 9:00 – 11:30 am
The Urban Partnerships Community Development Corporation and TXRX Labs collaborated to launch the East End Maker Hub (EEMH), state-of-the-art makerspace and manufacturing center. The partnership leveraged $37 million—including support from the EDA Austin Regional Office. EEMH is expected to generate over $150 million in annual economic impact to the Houston economy, create over 400 jobs, support locally-owned businesses, and provide a slate of career and trade skills training programs. EEMH leadership will provide an overview of the Hub and a tour of the space. The Mobile workshop is limited to 28 attendees and there is an additional fee of $40 to participate. The bus will depart from the Omni promptly at 9:00 am and will return in time for the Luncheon Plenary. Pre-registration is required.
